My Mutti-lein


Today is my mom's birthday!

Kaffee und Kuchen :)  We can pretend we're back on the Rhine!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

She is an angel here on Earth. She can make any place home, just simply by being there. She can probably beat you in cribbage, and if she's lucky she can beat me in cribbage. She can make the most delightful buttered noodles you'll ever eat. She is the world's best at snail mail, and her cards always seem to find you exactly when you need them. She has a beautiful spirit and unmatched patience. She had a life before having us kids (what?!), and her stories are worth listening to. She has a sense of adventure and a genuine interest in people. She has talked in her sleep at least one time, and it was so funny I thought my gut would burst. 
She is generous. She is creative. She is loving. She is loved.
